Here are some step by step photos of the binding I do on my wallets. I will come back and edit with a narration when I can get a little more time.

b12.jpg On this one, I just started at the point where i do the binding, so you can do this with whatever design you want.

b13.jpg This is a 30" long strip of lambskin. I have recently started using garment cow as the lambskin wears out much faster

b14.jpg sew on the binding to the outside edge, face to face.

b15.jpg This is where I trim the corners to give it a nice rounded look when finished

b16.jpg Seam tape on the inside to hold binding in place. Stretch binding around edge.

b17.jpg Sew along edge as close as you can get without actually sewing into the binding leather.

b18.jpg This is what it should look like when finished with sewing. Ready to trim excess leather. Sorry I dont have pics of that (I only have two hands.

Kevin;

I'm curious, is the seam tape that you use the same seam tape that is used on cloth? Do you have to heat it to bind?

Kevin, I've tried using double sided tape on a couple of awkward jobs a couple of years ago and the adhesive built up on the machine's needle and caused too many missed stitches, so I gave up. What's the secret?

Actually, as I recall, Kevin was kind enough to do this tutorial a second time, after the crash. I think the original was lost.....I had bookmarked it rather than saving it, so I was thrilled when he did it over again for us.

I know this is a n older thread, but nice job on the wallet! I would love to see your write up with explanations. I use this technique on binding carpet edges for auto work. I'd like to see how you got such a nice straight line when you trimmed the bottom side. GREAT JOB!

I use some seam tape that I get from Sailrite. If you have a business license, you can open a commercial account to get better prices. Here's a link to the tape in case anyone is interested.

This is a pretty cool site. Most prices are competitive, especially with wholesale prices. They have lot's of "How-To" videos that you can watch for FREE.

I don't have a problem with the glue building up on my needle.

this is an old thread....but I just learned to do this edge binding with my ol trusty Singer 211-155G.....very nice...and I used it on a large backpack and a new purse for a customer to hide the edges....workes great and looks so pro!

Love it....thanks for showing!!
